WEST MARINEWomen's Third Reef Jacket

Our seventh-generation Third Reef Jacket is constructed with an improved fabric that is more waterproof, but still offers outstanding breathability & lightweight comfort. This is the jacket you’ll grab for coastal cruising in moderate conditions. Fully lined, fully seam sealed, breathable, 100% water and windproof with an Oxford nylon outer shell and a Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish.

The adjustable waist has been moved to a more natural, comfortable location to fit a woman’s waist proportions. The articulated hood pod and brushed mesh collar have also been improved by adding extra room, so when the collar is fully zipped, it will allow for the additional bulk of mid layers. Hi-vis, foldaway hood features volume adjuster and one-handed aperture adjusters. Internal layering loops at neck and cuffs to easily attach your mid layers. You’ll also find cargo pockets that are now angled for easier access and super soft handwarmer pockets located behind the cargo pockets without zippers for quick accessibility. Zippered handwarmer pockets have also been added at the upper chest to make access easy while wearing a PFD.

I bought this for my girlfriend who is 5' short with a 36DD chest. Its nearly impossible to finde her a pair of foulies which fit. I bough her the large and it fits very nicely. The sleeves are a TAD long but she likes it this way so she can tuck her hands inside. This is what she had to say:"This jacket is the perfect fit. I love all the pockets, especially the fleece lined ones. It definitely prevents water from coming in, and it keeps me nice, dry and warm. I also love the velcro next to the zipper for fast and easy closure, in case you don't have time to fiddle with the zipper. My only question is why don't the women's jackets come in the same colors as the men's? I really love the bright yellow men's jacket, but the women's (mine) comes in a pastel yellow."

I liked the pricing and overall value but returned the jacket because the fleece lining on the collar was to rough. My last jacket had very soft fleece lining the collar and it was great but after 20 years of wear I needed to replace it. Was looking for similar quality and value but the roughness of the fleece on this jacket just didn't work for me. Otherwise, it was a good jacket and good value for the price.

This jacket has many features that you do not notice at first glance. For example, there is an inner lining that closes around the wrist to keep warmth inside. The jacket has many areas/pockets to hold items. It's incredibly warm. This jacket can be used sailing, in the rain and in the snow. This is a very well constructed and thought out design for this jacket. I'm pleased.

Great jacket with good construction and features found in more expensive jackets. But what really gave it the 5th star was the customer service. Inadvertently ordered the wrong size for my wife. Contacted customer service and they recommended the quickest, easiest way to resolve the issue. Took the jacket for the return and customer service had the correct size on the way. Got it 2 days later for the sale price I initially paid. Was refunded on the return jacket within 4 to 5 days. Great customer service and a great product. Highly recommend.

My daughter gave me this jacket for Christmas. I just love it. I am 6' tall, about a size 12 and she gave me a large. The sleeves are long enough (this is a rare experience for me), the shoulders are perfect, there is room for a sweater (or not) and it is water tight! I know I will never put this jacket to a test in a storm on the high seas, but I think it will be wonderful for cold rainy days on land. I am a kayaker and I think I would would be hard to paddle in this coat.. a little stiff for that. I am just so impressed with how well it is constructed ( I sew ). Thank you WM for making it so well. Thank you Elizabeth for the wonderful gift!
